Hi LOU.

Thanks for the input. yeah the wing is a little more than double. I did the same thing to the tail feathers. I would have to go back and look up the areas and ratios myself, but I seem to recall 22% (or slightly more) of wing area for the horizontal and same the vertical is sized just like the horizontal. I also stretched the tail out a bit. So I should have more tail volume than The original. I am hoping that works.

I intend to place the bellcrank in the fuse. I closed up the lead out cable holes in all the ribs before I started building the wings. I will also use an adjustable lead out guide mounted to the inboard side strut for fore and adjustability. reading your post made me think maybe I should also be able to move it up and down? Never thought of that before.

You have given me some food for thought. Thanks.

I hope to start the struts this weekend. It looks a little tall on paper, but I am going to have one chord of separation between the wings nonetheless.

This project has had some challenges already, and I know there will be more. And then it will take some time to get it adjusted for best performance after it's maiden.
